Jackson Hole, WY

When flying into Jackson Hole, you’re immediately greeted by the Grand Tetons as soon as you step off the plane. Breathing in the fresh, cold mountain air, I knew it was going to be a good trip and the perfect place to ring in the new year.

Then tramsped around town and did a little shopping, which included a stop at the Pendleton store.

Not too long after that bagel, I was hungry again (what’s new?) so I made a stop at Persephone Bakery for something warm and filling. This bakery is cozy and so cute, serving Intelligentsia coffee and the best baked goods. I came back almost every day while in Jackson.

More exploring around the town square and of course I had to pop into a few home shops, including Twenty Two Home.

One of the days, I took a winter sleigh ride at the National Elk Refuge. I could almost touch these beautiful creatures.

There was lots of touristing, relaxing and reading that went on, and the best way to end the trip was at Solitude Spa. I literally spent an entire day there which ended with a soak in the rooftop hot tub.

Jackson Hole was the perfect setting to wind down, reflect on 2013 and reset for this upcoming year.
